COCA - Center of Creative Arts

COCA - Center of Creative Arts is a multidisciplinary arts institution founded in 1986 in the United States. With the mission of enriching lives and building community through the arts, COCA offers exceptional arts education to the St. Louis region through performances, exhibitions, and programs. It is the largest community art center in the St. Louis region, annually serving 50,000 people and offering more than 500 classes, workshops, and camps in dance, music, drama, and visual arts. The organization's Family Theatre Series and Millstone Gallery further contribute to its accessibility and appeal as an arts venue.
